Indigenous Peoples and community leaders from Indonesia and the Philippines developed a more cohesive cultural narrative for their challenges vis-à-vis persisting threats to their statutory and community land rights in Southeast Asia during this five day workshop. The 20 participants improved their understanding of the gender disparities within their own communities and shared examples of best practices and lessons learned in addressing these shortcomings. They were also exposed to more collaborative approaches to problem-solving and training on techniques to create space for community-wide communication. Finally, the meeting leveraged the cultural heritage of each community, while bringing group-wide attention to the importance of youth leadership for long-term planning. The workshop was organized with assistance from the Samdhana Institute, AMAN, and AIPP.
